[SphSearch.org] Web Archiving Services
July 31, 2008 1:32 pmSphSearch.org allows institutions to build and preserve their own web archive of born digital content, through a user friendly web application, without requiring any technical expertise or hosting facilities. Subscribers can harvest, catalog, and archive their collections, and then search and browse the collections when complete. Collections are hosted at the SphSearch.org data center, and accessible to the public with full text search.
With the rapid growth of the Internet and the World Wide Web, millions of people have grown accustomed to using these tools as resources to acquire information; and the availability of electronic information is taken for granted. However, it is a fallacy that if something is on the web, it will be there forever. The average lifespan of a web page is 44 -75 days. There’s an urgent need for people to understand that that web is who we are. It’s our culture and our social fabric, and we don’t want to lose any of it. What is here today might be gone tomorrow.
SphArchive is designed to fit the needs of many types of organizations and individuals, including National archives, University libraries, Institutions, National libraries, non government organisations (NGO), Museums, historians, independent researchers, etc
